Roger would take you to a lovely intimate candlelit French restaurant, order in French, select a very fine wine etc etc

Murray would take you to McDonalds

roger's pratesi sheets, diptyque candles, fresh flowers and regattas with plenty of perfectly-chilled Bolly.

andy's a youth hostel, patchouli oil and a muddy music festival.

what's dull about the former, pray tell?

and if you told a joke or cracked a smile he'd make you feel about 2-inches tall for it.

ugggh and with that mother following every move even worse.

Definitely. With some withering put down.

Look at my muscles

And again

You just shouldn't do that when Rafa is on the tour! I know Murray has just beaten him, and well played to him, but Nadal definitely wins in the battle of the biceps.

lol! Not good are they. Look at the Fed links again.

tortoiseshell · 08/09/2008 17:16

Federer chest link again to banish the image of Murray's biceps

tortoiseshell · 08/09/2008 17:21

here's a nice quote from Nadal about why he always scratches his bum before a point (I presume rearranging his shorts)

"When reporters once tried to get to the bottom of the habit, Nadal said the problem was actually his bottom. ?A little bigger than usual,? he explained."

roseability · 08/09/2008 22:13

And you lot aren't miserable!

Being so unnecessarily nasty about someone you don't even know

Basing who you want to win on who you would most like to shag! Come on, you are acting like teenagers and dare to call Murray immature!

Stand up those of you who fulfill all such criteria a) are the essence of beautiful with jaw dropping and dazzling sex appeal (truthfully) b) have never been to McDonalds c) have never been a teenager and sulked/said something rash and immature d)have a perfect mother e) are elite sportswomen

.......didn't think so

so shut the fuck up and sulk about the fact that Murray is awesome. He has answered his critics

Oh and I would rather go to a muddy music festival than be driven around in a Mercedes, better for the environment

Tinker · 09/09/2008 00:06

Oh, what a shame, I think he's just lost.

Oh dear.

tortoiseshell · 09/09/2008 00:38

Yay for Fed.

MadameCastafiore · 09/09/2008 08:15

Oooohhhh fuck the environment - I like being shallow and choosing who I want to win on whether they are shagable and happy or fugly and miserable - YAY FOR THE FED!!!!

My man did it for me....Yeah!

Murray looks like a tramp, very skinny, too. He looks to me like he's sick, he's not though is he?

Fed did and he did it lookin' damn good!

Guess who's back? Back again? Fed's back, tell a friend . . .

And he won a big purse, too.

That's a lot of Pratesi sheets.

Go FED!

Come ON Tim

roseability · 09/09/2008 10:14

okay I admit Fed did look sexy but I stand by my view that Murray should be supported, bum fluff and all

tortoiseshell · 09/09/2008 10:38

I support tennis! And in the interests of tennis, Fed had to win. He has had a shocking time at the hands of the media - how many players do you know who could reach 3 GS finals, 1 GS semi, (with glandular fever), get an Olympic Gold and be written off as 'terrible year, it's the end of his time as a decent tennis player'.

He NEEDED to authoritatively win this final, not for him but for his critics. And YAY he did!

Murray will have many more chances.

It's not just Federer's inherent hotness that makes me support him, it's the beauty and quality of his tennis, the integrity with which he takes his role as an 'ambassador' of the sport.

I will say, I felt sorry for Murray last night - he looked done in, and it must have been hard coming the day after the Nadal match - he should be very proud of beating Nadal - and his post-match interview was excellent - suitably respectful and not dwelling on the wrongly called ball.

Tigerschick · 09/09/2008 11:02

I wanted Murray to win. But I also wanted Fed to win ... so I was just in it for the spectacle.

I agree that Fed needed to win, and win in style. I hate the way the media jumped on him and said he'd lost it when he didn't win every tournament he entered - it's quite disrespectful to his opponents if nothing else!

It was a good game - Murray played well. Fed played better. End of story.

tortoiseshell · 09/09/2008 11:28

I did pmsl a bit when after the match all the commentators (greg rusedski et al) were saying 'federer is the king, he is the best ever, can Murray get over this loss?'

They are SO irritating!
